‘Don’t believe those records, collections of 200 cr films are fudged’: Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan has once again slammed films in the 200 crore club, saying that the collections of those films are fudged.

Talking to ‘The National’ at the Grand Hyatt in Dubai, Aamir Khan said “Those numbers are fudged. And I am being completely honest with you here – all those claims of films breaking records, it is utter nonsense. In fact, PK is the first film in India to hire the services of Rentrak, a Spain-based company that provides audit services and media measurement. Also, in India, editorial space can be bought, so it’s very easy to have the papers say wonderful things about you. Don’t believe any of it.”

Aamir’s response was to a journalist who asked him about films in the ‘200 crore club’.

Not too long ago, the actor had said “I think that for some reason various people in the film industry feel that by inflating their figures they would convince people. Nowadays you get to buy editorial in number of newspapers which is extremely unfortunate. So what happens is that I can buy editorial and say ,’Mera itna dhanda hua ya utna hua’ (Say my film has earned this much). But its meaningless because when you go home you know how much business the film has done. Even the industry knows exactly how much each film has done. So the market knows, you can’t fool the market. You can try and fool people but how many times will you fool people also. Ultimately you are just fooling yourself.”

Aamir had also said that he doesn’t inflate the collections of his films “I am one of the people who strictly doesn’t give out figures which are inflated”

  • well said aamir…..d3 producer fig 283 cr n trade is 274 cr
    difference of 9 cr only…. it proves that aamir not doing such things…

  • K3 n bang bang create only doubt due to 40% n 30% difference respectively otherwise 10% diffence is acceptable for ce, kick n d3

  • This topic is really going worse day by day…We should introduce Rentark for all movies or any other reliable source…

    Sites like BOI should be banned…

  • He is talking abot srk and hro who does fudging to prove star power n fool people i request indicine to consider collctns in bitwin trade and producer figures it vil b more accurate
    as amir said tiz breaking opening records r nonsense itz giving ur product a boost

  • Another article creating negativity against Aamir when P.K has come near. Who is paying you Indicine? Seems an Aamir hater has written this article.

  • @Kartik

    I second that. With each big release this topic is being stretched to death. BOI is the oldest and outdated website. Rentrack might at least bring uniformity if not accuracy in their results. A difference of 40 to 60 crores for one movie is outrageous! Want a single reliable source to give real values.

  • aamir nvr said anything like this.he is nt stupid to say all 200cr collecting mvz hv fudged figures.it means even salman fudged his kick figure!!!

    basically these articles r being published to spread last min negativity against aanir bcz once pk releases tmrw aamir’s stardom will reach an altogether new level

  • i like amir but why he is behaving like this…he thinks he is the only person who is honest..now i am not gonna watch pk..in theatre..

  • PK is releasing tomorrow but your first 2 articles of the day are underhanedly having a pop at Aamir- seriously what is going on here…? Have the loons sorry chameleons taken over your offices…? Are you just responding to tweets from twits sorry idiots like kshitij srivastava and sambuddha mukherjee- trying way too hard to please them or humur them forsaking other users. Plus why are you giving insider tips to loons like babaji n sakhi rawant or are the chameleons employees there or the same insane person hence they come first with their rubbish….! This is becoming a farce- looking for news elsewhere as this day is turning into a sourgrapes day as you all know PK is gonna thrash all non holiday records and give a masterclass performance along the way….

  • Well I think everyone in the industry knows which movies have manipulated collections. Aamir and even Shahid has talked about it. But all those who do manipulation are actually fooling themselves.
    Its like u have got 72 in ur board exams and u are telling the world u got 92 because u know no one is going to ask for proof.

  • Mr Amir, it’s not you but its your jealousy who is speaking now. How can you let others down without any proof?
    Which movie you are talking about? CE/Kick/Krrish3/HNY or your very own Dhoom3. If you have any name then just make that public or else cut the crap.
    I thought you are sensible but you are nothing but a burning moron who can let his contemporaries down to prove himself a saint.
    Shame on you man!

  • This time amir knows that PK is not to break a single record…And he started to say “all those claims of films breaking records, it is utter nonsense.”..Haha Amir hard luck try next time

  • I am not an idiot to believe exaggenertd producer figres nowdays actors does home productions so its easy to fudge collections @indicine how can u believe that
    i am sure srk adultertd the verdict of ra1 which was a big flop inorder to keep his succes ratio intact(not only ra1 there r so many)
    how can u believe k3-244 without any appreciation

  • Genuine 200cr movies
    dhoom3,kick and 3idiots
    hny and k3 below 200
    i have lost my faith in srk so i dont believe ce did 200 eventough it was a gud entertnr

  • Amir khan is not a good person he just pretend to be. Amir khan is so much jealous of Shahrukh khan. He can never become superstar like Shahrukh khan. He has got nothing a celebrity should have.

  • Amir khan stop this jealousy. Shahrukh khan might be wrong here but u are nothing infront of him. Accept it for your own pleasure and stick to your own bussiness.

  • @mortdecai- u try ur luck as hard as can bt srk wz king srk is king nd srk will remain d king bcoz shit-maker like u cnt even break srk nd his fans a single bottom hair ok.. so just u better f**k off bcoz u r jealous of srk nd his outstanding success… u cud nt even imagine dat hny despite having average script did record breaker bussiness more than 3 idiots bt it did

  • @Goutam

    I don’t entirely agree with Aamir’s statement. Yes, what he said about his contemporaries is wrong. Not a good thing to say in open forum, but isn’t it sad that success is being equated with money. And why are makers marketing a movie based on earnings. Let the movie speak for itself!

    When you go into a restaurant, you go their to have food. But today people are more bothered about the earning of that restaurant. That sums it up, I guess.
